The District Council of Dalkey was a local government area seated at Owen in South Australia from 1875 to 1932.

History

[edit]

The District Council of Dalkey was officially proclaimed as incorporating the entire Hundred of Dalkey on 25 March 1875.[1] The five inaugural councillors appointed on the date of the proclamation were John Fisher, Edward George Gibbs, Isaiah Hill, Richard Keane Spotswood, and Gottlieb Trager.[1]

In 1882 a council chamber was opened for the Dalkey council in Owen.[2]

The Dalkey council ceased to exist in 1932 when it was amalgamated with the District Council of Alma Plains to form the new District Council of Owen,[2] but the new council seat was kept at Owen.
